Notes from Vegan
Outreach

Excerpt: "Before
you decide to work for an animal
rights group, you might want to
ask yourself, 'What would I do with
my life if there were no animal
suffering?'"

Product
of the Week: Jon's Addiction

In honor of Jon Camp's recent birthday,
this week's product is Chocolate
Silk. Lucy Kelly writes:
"More and more stores are selling
Silk is Soy chocolate soymilk. It
has a good helping of essential
vitamins and is a good addition
to smoothies."

Although his 40,000+ booklets handed
out this semester for Adopt
A College is almost double the
entire program's Fall 2003 total,
Jon could have handed out 80,000,
if he didn't spend half his time
fantasizing about Chocolate Silk!

Notes from All
Over

excerpt: "[I]t was
reported that a daily dose of Omega
3 and Omega 6 fish oil capsules
made the seven-year olds at Little
Heath Primary School in Potters
Bar, Herts, smarter and better behaved.
After three months on the capsules,
the best of the students jumped
three years in reading comprehension."

excerpt: "If
you could talk to the animals, would
they have anything to say? New research
suggests they might. Testing the
IQ of a sheep may seem laughable.
But at the Babraham Institute in
Cambridge, England, they know better.
One sheep who got a reward every
time she recognized a human face
correctly on a video screen scored
a perfect 50 out of 50.

"And it's not just sheep...."

Notes from Our
Members

I just picked up a
Vegan
Advocacy booklet
from a bookstore here in Tulsa,
OK. I am one of the activists that
has burned out in the face of the
constant battles we face. I had
been in a rut for about six months,
even avoiding conversations about
animal issues altogether in order
to avoid the frustration of debating
the close-minded.
However, I felt a new sense of courage,
mission, and ability after reading
your booklet. Thank you for reminding
me why I became an activist in the
first place. I appreciated your
focus on logic and ethics, rather
than radicalism and other common
tactics by some groups (which usually
make the rest of us look bad). I
will become active again soon!-SS, 5/15/05

We had the opportunity
to meet Jon Camp while he was in
Boston leafleting. We were very
impressed by this dedicated, self-sacrificing
young man. His gentle nature and
love for animals touched our hearts.
It is people like Jon who, with
his unimposing manner, will ultimately
help to spread the word of the positive
aspects of a vegan lifestyle. -RAI
